This Night Owl Blog has given so much!
It is a fun place, we don't bash and we have fun being "tedious"!
We offer advice, give love, lots of free food and an open forum which can be about anything that is important, thought provoking or just plain silly.
And sometimes we just March (some to different drummers, but all together). :)
It is not about a single person, it is about all the people on any given day blended together.....Goldie!

~ Blurred Lines ~

by Tina~in_ut

I had heard that youtube didn't want to post this video. I watched it and thought.....really? Well....it is a little suggestive. AND THEN I FOUND THE UNCENSORED VERSION! OH MY HELL!!!~ Uh yeah~ Check that one out~ lq~

Busy weekend. Drum Corps show in Dubuque, Iowa on Friday night with Jake, and High School Marching Band Championships in Whitewater, WI on Saturday night. Yesterday I slept in, did laundry, then Paul and I had dinner at the lake where Tim works.

Jl...yes, at Christmas time. We were in the midst of eating when asked to hurry so a Christmas group coul sit where we were sitting...different place. I wrote an email and recd a gift card and apology on that one

Dianne, maybe another email is in order. It's one thing to ask you to leave if you have been sitting there a long time after you finish your meal, but to ask you before you are finished is totally off base.

Pretty laid back day again today. Did get the nails done and will get the hair done tomorrow. I never used to require so much "maintenance". LOL My back has been bothering me for a couple of days so I haven't been doing too much. Just puttering around the house and running some errands. It's been overcast here. Typical for this time of year on the coast.

J/L, I agree. It takes a lot of maintenance and I don't even look that good when I am done. I was just thinking yesterday about how I could get ready to go somewhere in half the time it takes now and I looked a lot better when I was done. I wish I could afford some plastic surgery to lift and tuck and suck.

JusL, I have been trying to get moving too. I walk the dog, but that is not too strenuous lol! I did walk over 2 miles last Sat at the Cure for Cancer Walk. That got me remembering when I used to run 4 miles a day without breathing hard and biking 6 miles and loving it! Of course I was younger and no knee replacement :(

Dianne You made me LOL and the idea of Barb wearing a life jacket on formal night!!! It makes me laugh again just writing about it. Do you think it would help if we glued sequins all over it? She's crafty. I bet she has lots of stuff she could bring to decorate her "jacket". Hope she doesn't dress in anything that would clash with that bright orange color.

My trip was really fun but really exhausting, too. We started out with 4 days in London. The weather was on the cool side and overcast. We carried our umbrellas around everyday but it never rained. That is until we went to the Tower of London and didn't bring the umbrellas. Of course on that day, the skies opened up and absolutely POURED! Fortunately, this happened not long before we were ready to leave and get back on the Underground. Anyway, we saw the Crown Jewels and that was the reason we went. We saw the changing of the guard ceremonies at Buckingham Palace. toured the public areas of Kensington Palace and had high tea, went to Westminster Abbey but it had just closed and they were having church services so we listened to the music for a few minutes and then shopped in their nearby gift shop. Saw Big Ben and that giant Ferris wheel, The London Eye, went to the Globe Theater and saw a performance of "A Midsummer Night's Dream", went shopping at a street fair in Notting Hill. We had some of our breakfasts and lunches in pubs. Discovered that a traditional English breakfast includes Heinz canned beans (the pork and beans type beans). Who knew? And fish and chips are served with peas! Usually, "mushy peas".

The cruise was two weeks long and some of the countries seemed very similar. Lots of cobblestone streets, lots of really old buildings and old churches. It was warm during the cruise...in the 80's. We went to Denmark, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Russia, cruised the Kiel Canal in Germany. The canal took all day to traverse and people on shore made a point to gather and wave to us. Also went to Finland, Netherlands, and Sweden. We thought Riga, Latvia was especially charming. People everywhere were friendly except we found the Russians to be stern and unsmiling, except for our little tour guide. We went to an Ice Bar and had to wear fur lined hooded parkas and gloves and were served vodka and cranberry juice in glasses made of ice. We saw so many things that it's all kind of a blur. I will have to see my daughter's photos to sort it all out.

MARY - I guess the heat is getting to you!!! lol!!! Decided yesterday that since I have Friday off, and it's been too dang long, that I'm going to LOIS' for the night. Leaving after a nap after work. There is a band playing about a half hour from her house that we saw at a fundraiser this winter. Should be fun!!! Oooooh, and I can't wait to meet her new dog Sophie!

An update on Jake. Yesterday he rode his bike to the pool and his PT appt. They are now working on strengthening his muscles in his hip area by doing all kinds of balancing exercises. Hard to believe that 2 weeks ago he could hardly get off the couch!!
